Ascension

And if I go while you're still here,
Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure.
Behind a thin veil, you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I wait for the time, when we can soar together again
both aware of each other.
Until then live your life to the fullest,
And when you need me...
Just whisper my name in your heart,
and I will be there.

In honor of Christopher... whisper his name...
I love him and miss him so.

In Loving Memory of my Son
Christopher Daniel Grider
December 1977-November 2002
I love you my baby,
Mom

Chris and his mom.. The love of her life..

I lost my 24 year old son Christopher Daniel Grider on Nov 10, 2002 in a motorcycle accident. I am totally broken. He was so much more than just my son. We had reached such a special level in our relationship. He was my son, protector, computer advisor, roommate, comedian, so many it is hard to list.

Christopher was an avid racquetball player. He won so many tournaments he was 5th in the nation in his age group.

Since the time we lost him he has given us so many signs.. He had a tattoo of a yin-yang, (Chinese symbol) on his arm. That and ladybugs are so much him.

This special image is a gift for Christopher from my dear friend Joyce.

We Do Not Need A Special Day

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know

Our thoughts are always with you
Your place no one can fill
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still

There will always be a heartache
And often a silent tear
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here

If tears could build a staircase
And heartaches make a lane
We'd walk the path to Heaven
And bring you home again

We hold you close, within our hearts
And there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again

Our family chain is broken now
An nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.

Take To A Star

I look to the stars tonight
There I saw your smile...
your face was written among
all the stars in the sky!!
So when I feel alone, I will
look for your smile among the stars.~ Author unknown

Dear Janet
Reading through Christopher's site again, the bond you had with him reminds me so very much of the way my Son Lee and I were.
That bond will never be broken, Janet.
UNTIL WE MEET OUR SONS AGAIN
GOD BLESS

My heart reaches out to you as you have
